Denny Dera built the original cage for the Vert with Jason McNeil according to the GM HTP article that was written last year. And if you are building a bad *** 10.5 car why not hire one of the baddest chassis shops around to do it. Make sure it gets done right rather then guessing. I'm sure they'll fabricate everything else beyond the chassis though.

Look in the photo really close and you will sort of see exactly how many cars Vanishing Point builds at once. I can count at least three cars being built in the photo all on chassis plates.

Yea ronnie duke is pretty much going to get that record.. he has more money than he knows what to do with..Owns a Viper, C6, 05 stang, all kinds of old muscle cars, 2 TA's(1 being the 8 second one), and his Z06.. He took me for a ride in his Z06 and it was just insane.. I don't think he will have any problem makin his TA run 7's.. he has enough people working at his shop that know what they are doin!

Guys, this is a tech board, no more gratuitous ronnie bashing in a tech thread otherwise you might get a 2 month vacation from the board. you might not like this or that about a person, but let's avoid discussing folks on a personal level... talk about turbos and superchargers and the stuff that makes them work.

-managment

and i don't think that the hardcore racing team beat that 8.11 yet, but i think they will soon. i imagine they came back up here for xmas but i think the 7.99 barrier will be broken well before march or april.
